Re: eBay: Allied intrest

OK any Guesses on what I assume is GZ-N

Hurricane Squadron Ace: The Story of Battle of Britain Ace, Air Commodore Peter Brothers


8th June 1940 P3353 Pilot Officer D H Grice 'Turned on Back'


Hurricane Squadron Ace: The Story of Battle of Britain Ace, Air Commodore Peter Brothers


20/05/1940 N2583

'N' wouldbe B flight

B' Flight's Sergeant North (flying N2583) claimed the Hs 126 probably destroyed at 1825 hours:
'Green One (Squadron Leader Worrall) dived to attack [firing ..."


"Loud explosion coming from the direction of the port tank. The aircrfat caught fire (return
fire Hs126), my cockpit filled with acrid smoke. I put it down with the wheels in the up position in a
ploughed field approx 10 miles SE of Arras, near Pelves"

But this has no evidence of smoke or fire damage (though cannot see port wing) but not a ploughed field ??

But this is the best 'match' I can see at moment



02/06/1940: Dunkirk Patrol, F

Type: Hurricane Mk. I
Serial number: P2727, GZ-?
Operation: Dunkirk Patrol, F
Lost: 02/06/1940
Sgt D. Flynn - POW
Missing from Dunkirk Patrol. Held captive in Kopernikus camp.


But
https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/228832 says bailed out and anyway GZ-F

and "into the sea off Calais; pilot bailed out, and survived, but was captured, and taken as a PoW"

Any other possibilities ??
